Proverbs 16:12-15

12Wrongdoing is disgusting to kings because a throne is established through righteousness.

13Kings are happy with honest words, and whoever speaks what is right is loved.

14A king’s anger announces death, but a wise man makes peace with him.

15When the king is cheerful, there is life, and his favor is like a cloud bringing spring rain.
